Rancang Bangun Alat Pengusir Hama Otomatis Berbasis Iot Dengan Esp8266 Dan Panel Surya

Abstract

Pest infestation is one of the main factors causing a decline in crop yields in the agricultural sector. Manual handling and the use of excess chemicals are often ineffective and risky to the environment. This research aims to design an automatic pest repellent based on the Internet of Things (IoT) using an ESP8266 microcontroller and a solar panel power source. ultrasonic sensor as a repellent, and Blynk application for real-time activity monitoring. The system's energy is supplied through solar panels connected to lithium batteries, allowing the device to work independently without PLN electricity. The test results show that the device is able to detect and respond to the presence of pests quickly and accurately, as well as communicate the status of the system to the user through the application. The implementation of this tool is expected to increase the efficiency of pest control on agricultural land, while supporting the use of renewable energy and IoT technology to realize smart agriculture
